Four people were killed and 49 injured in Iowa in 2009 from crashes at rural intersections caused by obstructed view from trees and crops, accidents that cost the state nearly half a million dollars.

A portion of Highway 92 will be closed over the next couple of months in Muscatine. The Iowa Department of Transportation says the roadway will be closed between Hershey Avenue and Pine Street beginning today. They say traffic will be rerouted to a detour. The project is scheduled to be completed in early June.
